This is our second year of enrolling with the Bella Dance Academy and we could not be happier with the content, instructors and facility. The year end shows are fantastic and my daughter LOVED being able to perform on stage. The dance environment is structured fun and we plan to be yearly enrollees for some time. ~ Cathy Downes
I love the dancing and I love Miss Lina. ~ Hannah Downes, 5

Bella is the best thing to happen to Yellowknife kids since snow! Saturday dance class is the highlight of our daughter's week. The school runs with clockwork efficiency -- and the creativity and dedication of the instructors is beyond compare. Nutcracker is a new Yellowknife tradition!” ~ Paul Falvo

I have been attending Bella Dance Academy for four years now. I love dance classes because it is fun. In ballet and tap classes, I learn how to shuffle, pirouette, skip, bow and even to boogie woogie. I love the year end recitals and I love my teacher Lina. ~ Olivia Iatridis, 7

I love dance! It’s better for your health. It teaches kids to not sit in front of the TV. ~ Madison Hunter, 8

Pointe is a good experience, Tomiko is a great instructor. Pointe is fun and broadens our dance horizons. We’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time. We make a “pointe” of working hard at Bella! ~ 2009 Beginner Pointe class, 11 - 17

Our family always looks forward to the Year end performance. It’s an opportunity to volunteer, learn, and even share my own artistic ability with Bella by painting backdrops for the stage performances. I can’t dance...but I can paint! My daughter has made many friends at Bella and always looks forward to her classes with Lina. A chance to be on stage for every dancer builds confidence in young children. ~ Diana Curtis

My granddaughter, Peyton, is a very shy little girl. Over the last three years, she has come out of her shell and has become a very competent young lady, and we owe it all to ballet She attended the Royal Ballet of Winnipeg last week and came home with stars in her eyes! She looks forward every week to her class and seeing her dance friends, and of course Lina as well. Her Dad, Grandfather and myself thank Bella Dance for our little girls progress. ~ Sharon Doherty
